PvP in this game is bad.

Nope.

Actually, it works the other way around.

That settles that.

Like mostly everyone commenting in this thread, you're both idiots. Look at the name of the player taking the damage and then look at the name above the person he has targeted. Bingo! You fail!

Gee, this sound an awful lot like pre-failure damage control. I guess even the fanboys can see it coming now.

He asked for "thoughts," you're the one turning his post into something it isn't. Get over yourself.

Agreed. Been saying this since beta, actually.

Agreed. People are only patient for so long and once you invoke mediocrity as the status quo it becomes an assault on our principles. Sort of reminds me of Bill Hicks back in the 90's: "When did banality and mediocrity become a good image for your children?" Well, Bill, I guess all those kids are grown up now.

I imagine this to be the case. Although, they should have capped it at 65 until they were ready to implement higher valor-rank rewards.

+1. /thread

It wouldn't be hard to trust you on that considering their actions mimic this sort of attitude. Oh, that and I know a BioWare employee, too. Yes, he is a pretentious dick.

Easily the most absurd thing I have ever read and i've read A LOT of ****.

What's appalling is acting like we should continue to pay for the game until they fix it. I canceled, but will come back after they fix a majority of the problems. How is this unreasonable?

As a former WAR beta tester from Friends and Family until launch, I approve this message 100%. Even though that was primarily Mythic, there certainly does seem to be a pattern.

Yes, this game was rushed. Anyone saying otherwise is just an obtuse fanboy. The "it's an MMO, what did you expect?" excuse is for lower profile games with a smaller budget. It's a pretty stupid excuse anyways. I'm sick of broken and unfinished games, which is why I have already canceled this one. Hopefully, BioWare won't listen to the fanboys and some of these problems will get fixed.

Not to steal your thunder, but I pulled those same numbers on my level 17 Powertech. That's not very much damage/protection at all. Especially when Sages are pulling 600k dmg and 1-200k healing.

Exactly.

I didn't say anything like that, stop putting words in my mouth. You just interpreted what I said to conform with your overzealous diatribe. By "break even" I meant to play the class optimally (not to be confused with "doing well"). If you think that we should have to put forth twice the effort and skill for half the reward as everyone else then you are just a masochist looking for a good time. I don't want an easier class, I just want a valid reason to play a hard one. Just being hard isn't good enough of a reason: I expect results. No one cares how well you play a hard class if it doesn't perform. I could play any other class and put out twice the numbers that the Guardian does in the same role. I know this, because like the OP, I have.

This would make sense if we were actually rewarded for hitting all those extra buttons. However, all the button spamming in the world doesn't add up to what an equally skilled BH/Trooper can do. Plus, they have the added advantage of range. Essentially, you're hitting all those extra buttons to "break even" with the added detriment of being melee. INB4L2P: I am level 50 and usually top 5 in dps/protection/medals. That doesn't mean i'm blind/retarded.

If you think playing a Sentinel is useless, try playing Guardian DPS. Same survivability for half the damage.

QFT If I ever got a heal, I would die from shock anyways.

PvP-wise, Guardians do suck, but it has nothing to do with the player. The best Guardian in the world could be 10x better at any other class. Period. I play the Guard to maximum efficiency and usually score top 5 in DPS/Medals/Protection. However, this takes a lot more work to achieve than other classes for the same end result. Statistically, the class is not worth playing -- at all. You think 200-400k damage is awesome, but a Sage can do that and put out 6-digit healing at the same time.

OP got owned by a bunny-hopper.

I shouldn't sell it too, too short. I think it looks awesome and the fact that it's snowy and tropical all-in-one is neat. I just can't stand the rest of it.
